Individual Development Plans (IDPs) provide a powerful tool for helping students uncover their career prospects, engage with their mentors, and create plans to move towards their goals. This process may be particularly valuable to students who have not had access to the “hidden curriculum” of graduate school as it helps them uncover potential gaps in knowledge and share these with their mentors.  Join us for this interactive session where we will explore the IDP and career assessment process, have the opportunity to “test-drive” a career assessment, and develop an IDP to better understand how this process is experienced by students and how we can use this planning process to help all students engage in productive conversations with their mentorship teams.  Please bring a laptop or tablet to this session.
